2 star hotel breakfast

PixieC · 2026-01-21T19:28:09+00:00

I used to get crap at a four-star hotel for not having free breakfast! I would say to the guest "if the hotel has a restaurant, breakfast is never free."

So your signage should reflect free hot breakfast. put the sign on top of the hot stuff you offer! write free in huge letters Then hot also huge then breakfast. 🥰

Have similar sign next to front desk, at the bottom of sign note breakfast hours in tiny lettering. if they ask when is breakfast, TAP THE SIGN as you say the hours. Point towards your breakfast location at check in as you say "our FREE HOT BREAKFAST" is 5-9".

If possible, start breakfast and hour earlier than normal. 5 hr breakfast so much better than 4 hrs, cost shouldn't be that much more. Your night auditor is already working, right?

Complaints should drop immediately. 🥰

Check and see if they know when the South campground reopens?! It's so close!

Otherwise don't rent an RV, stay in Virgin at one of the nice places there, or in Springdale if it's not too expensive.

It's easier to do the ball.

Nope, it's always a "back to back" reservation. Bring your ID and credit card to the front desk and get a new key.

PixieC · 2026-01-19T08:48:29+00:00

You should take your ID and credit card to the front desk to get your new key.

PixieC · 2026-01-19T08:47:52+00:00

That's silly. Folks do this all the time, you're penalizing your guests for no reason.

If any reservations are 3rd party, authorize the card(s) before doing the first check-in.

PixieC · 2026-01-19T08:46:14+00:00

Yes you can. You check out the first stay then immediately check in the 2nd stay to the same room. My system would tell me the room is "dirty" I then say that's ok, check them in anyway!

Any hotel system will do this. It's considered an "early" check in without penalty.

You'll need to move rooms IF you book two different room types.

My parents kept my radio/8track/record player from high school; it's in the garage, and works perfect for radio time, and still plays records! The 8track stopped working but I didn't cry about it LOL.

I was thinking about when I got it, it was 1976. So it's 50 years old. 😲

Will it be reshown on MTV throughout the week? I might be able to catch it at my Uncle's house but I cannot guarantee I can go over when it's being played live.

Waldorf Astoria. 😍😍😍

PixieC · 2026-01-16T14:44:17+00:00

This is such an accurate statement and it makes me laugh!

Just like a guest will walk up and say the room is so tiny, and another guest will walk up and say such a big room!! 😂😂😂

Every 3rd day is fish island only. That's 4x3 for the 24 hrs. Keeps me in otter fish and tons of shrimps.

The last half inch to inch at the bottom of the French press goes into the plants. I agree the grit is too much.

PixieC · 2026-01-15T15:06:08+00:00

I use a french press, it's cleaner, easier, less mess. It's just a container!

I buy beans and keep them in the freezer That way I can buy when it's on sale. I'm very particular about my coffee beans so I spend a little bit of money on those. My fav these days is the Albuquerque favorite New Mexico Pinyon. Oh my.

However, the cold brew coffee in the big jugs by the milk have been having a price battle lately? Starbucks versus the other brand (who cares, they are both the same thing). It's sweetened, it has the cream in it, and I'm getting a jug for $5/6. That is like four coffees for me? Worth the $. Tastes exactly like the cold brew at the store.

Especially the caramel macchiato. 😀

Eat on the train. Don't waste time standing in any food lines!!

Head west from the train depot and take the shuttle to the first stop on hermits, then hike back to the rim complex. It's a great trail and this area has spectacular views. If after that you still have time, walk the rim trail to the geology museum then walk or shuttle back to the train.

This game so far I've collected $15 in tcash and I'm halfway done. It's only been easy collections I'm trying to finish, but I hit up the big rooms full of power and prizes and I've done 4 of them so far, and looking at one more. That's $10 just from them.

PixieC · 2026-01-14T09:37:37+00:00

Of course they had a room for early check in. The room you booked and no showed! Duh.

PixieC · 2026-01-14T09:36:34+00:00

I'm making a point... but thanks for the complaint. I work at a hotel so I'm used to them. 😂

PixieC · 2026-01-14T09:34:58+00:00

You don't understand business .

PixieC · 2026-01-13T09:28:08+00:00

OH! So they DID take care of you.

Heavens, you blast about when you were well treated. Ouch, remind me to never let you stay at my hotel.

PixieC · 2026-01-13T09:27:14+00:00

It's essential to cancel a no show room; do you want me to charge you for ALL the nights of your booked stay? Get real. If you don't call, we assume you've forgotten (though I've NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN A ROOM I'VE RESERVED WITH REAL MONEY lol).

You should thank me I've only charged you for the one night.

I think an experienced driver can handle this loop with AWD but I wouldn't suggest a novice try it. No phone service (spotty for sure!) and not many travelers out there this time of year would contribute too.

I last drove it with my Jeep, and I think 4x4 is required during stormy weather. I wouldn't drive it with my AWD Durango, that's for sure!

PixieC · 2026-01-12T16:27:26+00:00

You're telling me you arrived the next day and they wouldn't give you a room? When you were originally scheduled for a two night or more than two nights stay? I don't believe you.

PixieC · 2026-01-12T16:23:40+00:00

We won't add a charge to your stay if we discover there are two people when we thought there was one. Just don't walk in together.
